F*^#K Ticketmaster

Ticketmaster is a joke.

First I buy four tickets for $25 each and opt for will call pick up to save the extra $2 per ticket, still the bill is $146.

Where the fuck does the other $46 bucks come from? Who knows? I’ll tell you who knows, No One…that’s who. Sure as shit not Dickletmaster.

The concert is being held at the wonderful Henry Fonda Theater.

I see bands at Fonda for a few reasons:

1. No seating chart, the general admission is awesome in any spot
2. A gang of different bars inside as well as a patio on the roof (for when the opening band sucks)
3. It’s close to my house
4. Easy access (parking is easy also)
5. There is a bar you can wait for your friends at next door to meet up
6. Age requirement on most shows

But it turns out Ticketmaster over sold them. Last night’s show was oversold and the fire marshal shut them down before they could play. Turns out they over sold tonight’s show as well, and moved tonight’s venue.

To top this experience off, I get an email from Goldenvoice telling me the venue has changed. I go to Ticketmaster.com to find out that they have not updated their website or their customers and it’s about three hours until show time???? WTF???? I get a courtesy email from Ticketmaster’s competitor and not the company I ordered the tickets from? Imagine if I had received no email? Oh man, I can’t imagine at all. My temper could not handle even the thought.


What do I get at Nokia?

1. A long list of shit that is such a pain in the ass that I cancel the damn order all together.

The Roots....The new back up band for Jimmy Fallon?

I cannot even begin to describe how this makes me feel. I am saddened to a level that is confusing for me...?!!???

I think that this article sums up everyone's feelings pretty well.

As stated in Gawker.com:

Click HereThis past weekend, a hip hop blog called Nah Right posted a YouTube interview with ?uestlove, a member of hip hop live band supergroup The Roots. And he said that The Roots were retiring from touring in order to become the house band for Jimmy Fallon when he takes over Conan O'Brien's late night show next year. But that video was quickly pulled, so everyone has been scrambling to find out whether this apocalyptic... thing is actually true. NBC has no official comment, but we hear that it probably is. Essaywhuman?!!!??! This is one of those things that proves you're getting old...

Are we human? Or are we blades of grass? What is this is?

I remember the first time I saw them live. It was Street Scene in San Diego. Not the good Street Scene either. They had a very little crowd at first. We were up at the front of the stage with only about forty other people. As soon as they started playing, it was like the running of the bulls. Not just hipsters either. Those sandal wearing Ocean Beach jocks and their hippie microbrew drinking girlfriends were all about it as well. Two songs into it and there were quite a few hundred people rocking out to Mr. Brightside.

The stage presence....The vibe....The energy....

They played a perfect set. Not one note missed. Made straight steady love to the crowd. The women wanted him, the men wanted to be him....

It felt like I was watching history in the making. This band was going places. (I was a little high too, and in really good company, so you know how that goes).

Although not as much as I used to be, I am a fan of the Killers. Their first album was a breath of fresh air in a time of my life where hip hop (insert any shitty hip hop song that made it to MTV in the last five years) was steadily failing me. Their follow up album had some rotation for awhile. But this shit is completely and utterly out of control. Was I under some sort of spell before? Were the Killers ever good? Do they deserve for me to even write a blog about how shitty their new song is? Has anyone heard these lyrics? Take a look and you tell me....WTF??????


Don't fall victim to the argument that he does not say dancer. Cause he does, and it sucks.

It took some homework, but check:

There has been considerable confusion and debate over the line "Are we human or are we dancer?" in the song's chorus. Many have incorrectly heard "denser" instead of "dancer", a change which significantly alters the interpretation of the song's meaning. On the band's official website, the biography section states that Flowers is singing "Are we human, or are we dancer?" and also says that the lyrics were inspired by a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson about how America was raising a generation of dancers.
Entertainment Weekly's Pop Watch section called this line the "silliest lyrics of the week". They were puzzled by the interpretation, stating "most dancers are generally human".

Yep, turns out the song lyrics suck.
